Cosmetrics - Hardcover
Synopsis
A well cared for face- lively and alert- can say more about you than hours of conversation. Good looks are more than skin deep; they are muscle deep. Elasticity of skin is determined by the strength and tone of the muscles- the action of the muscles moves the skin. Improper use of these facial muscles creates wrinkles. Happily, proper and regular facial exercise can help to eradicate these distressing signs of age. Your complexion is a living, breathing part of your body. Like you, it responds to love, care, and attention, and it will bloom if you treat it properly.
